Every day at 3 oclock Ive been killing you in my daydreams, murmurs low-rent hitman Sh (Yichi Minato), haunted by the death of his girlfriend five years earlier and seeking revenge on the gangster who killed her, in director/writerAtsushi Yamatoyaseerie, seedy and dreamlike noir with fractured, time-bending overtones of John Boormans POINT BLANK and Christopher Nolans MEMENTO. Yamatoya co-wrote Seijun Suzukis BRANDED TO KILL (released the same year as this), and the films are companion pieces in many ways: subversive and jarring with strange flashbacks, inexplicable dialogue and song lyrics(My burning dumdum goes flying, bites the enemys neck), inserts that shatter the fourth wall, and a dissonant free jazz score. Produced by Keiko Sat, one of the few female producers in the underground Japanese pink film genre, the absurdly-titled INFLATABLE SEX DOLL is comparable to similar movies by American erotic auteurs Russ Meyer (FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!) and Radley Metzger at their most arthouse. The feverish S&M vibe and lurid B&W cinematography is like a junkies smack-induced nightmare: basically the cinematic equivalent of listening to the Velvet Undergrounds Venus In Furs and Sister Ray. Recently rescued from the only surviving 35mm film elements by Rapid Eye Movies in Germany, and newly digitally restored by Craig Rogers for Deaf Crocodile.
